will not get worse, but it will get worse, it is already starting to get worse because finally in december, real sanctions against russia related to oil and gas began to be introduced. he now has a portfolio of orders of 200 billion dollars. excuse me, this is the company that actually currently manages the occupied zaporizhzhia npp and it has a portfolio of 200 billion dollars, including most of their orders with our western partners, that is, real sanctions will lead to the fact that the standard of living of russians will begin to fall, and this will immediately be imposed and multiplied by these losses, so i think that we do not need to respond in a mirror, we need to increase our technical readiness to destroy russian soldiers. well, the armed forces of ukraine are successfully dealing with this, at least at the hottest point bakhmut in

donetsk region, the head of the donetsk regional military administration, pavlo kyrylenko, says that the infrastructure of bakhmut has already been destroyed by 60%. he also emphasized that the troops of the russian federation continue to use scorched earth tactics by destroying populated areas from all the types of weapons available to them . well, a serviceman with the call sign kyivan from the 93rd kholodny yar brigade talks about the operational situation around bakhmut, says that the wagnerites discredit the regular troops of the russian federation, we will hear bakhmut - this is the center of the city, you can see bakhmut - this is ukraine, there are no medical comrades here during the period, what they constantly say that they have already taken over. well, they spend millions of dollars there on ipso, and all the time some

informational attacks try to take short i will explain why bakhmut is so important for zaporizhia, first of all, they need to show some kind of victory because after kyiv, kherson, kharkiv , there is absolutely nothing to show. and inside their terrorist country, there are several groups of influence, and this is one of the gangs these are private military companies. they have completely discredited their armed forces, the second army of the world, and now, in order to surpass this bunker grandfather, they are trying to capture bakhmut, but for se- for the armed forces of ukraine, it is the same. are you there? private or regular people came to bakhmut, well , you will sit here, all the tricks of mr. mykhailo will remain. what does bakhmut mean and what does it mean for russians, and why do they

howl so fiercely and persistently for him? well, first of all, in principle, the history of bakhmut began even earlier, it was one of the directions of the offensive of russia when the izyum liman group still existed when the southern group still existed when they tried to encircle the ukrainian forces in donbas from april and thus break the stalemate but gradually when the kharkiv region was liberated the limansk izum group disappeared in the south and things did not go very well for the russians, this direction remained, but it is absolutely true. i agree with our military servicemen that in fact there is more motivation here now, just prigozhyn's chvk to demonstrate that they can achieve something, unlike the regular forces, and i think that prigozhin personally promised putin that

he would by the new year, in any case, although the dates were earlier . russian unity or national ethics, i don't remember what the holiday is called, but the dates have moved, but the new year, i think it's already some kind of extreme date, because the way they are pushing now, how many personnel are they throwing , what kind of passions do they have have you seen a video where an officer simply beats his subordinates with a stick, i.e. what kind of moral and psychological state do they have now in these ranks or vk? that is, it is actually a personal promise to putin, prigozhin, who tried to demonstrate what he will now show and be able to go on some new level in including political bomaty but it will be a downfall for prigozhin, he is trying of course now to crush him somehow, it is possible that this battle will be called no longer so important, that is, prigozhin will say that they will now take care of other

things and that, in principle, this situation can end but there is another hypothesis of mine that in order to get that operational pause for two months that we just talked about, the russians can simply conduct such protracted combat operations of a tactical plan , in fact, but stretching the ukrainian forces as much as possible along the entire front so that the ukrainians do not were able to concentrate and carry out their offensive operations, which are currently being carried out in the east and in the south, and are simply involved in such tight battles, the bloody russians do not spare their personnel and in this way drag all this out until, for example, the end of february. when they will, they believe that they will be ready to carry out a new mongoose jump, let's conditionally say yes, but i am sure that once again the armed forces of ukraine will break these plans and will carry out their offensive operations in accordance with their decisions and plans german press p михайле in the last few days, he writes

that in april 2023, russia may launch a new offensive, and the germans refer to their data and say that moscow has calculated aid to minsk . well, zurgerzaiton also writes about a possible offensive. the crysis site also writes about a possible offensive, they e- they claim that now putin is doing this in order to push lukashenko to participate either indirectly or in a large-scale campaign against ukraine, how do you assess the possibility of this because, well, for the last six or seven months the topic of a possible offensive from the side of belarus to the northern border of ukraine, and here in belarus, i will remind you that over 1,000 km of common border is quite actively

discussed by experts and the military, and the general staff of ukraine regularly provides information on how ready the side that is in the south is to belarus. and i will remind you that it is the russians and belarusians before a possible invasion of the territory of ukraine, what do you think , can putin and lukashenka open the northern front for ukraine? of ukraine on the territory of belarus, that is, there are 9,000 russians, or there are about 15,000 belarusian units that are actively demonstrating that they are preparing, but there is no information about those reserves that were sufficient to carry out such an operation against ukraine, for this they

well, at least 50 and better 80 or 100,000 military personnel of the group are needed, of course, equipped with appropriate weapons and military equipment and then we could talk about a danger or a threat, at the moment there is no such threat of course, when we talk about these two months of operational pause, about the fact that the russians will now recruit and increase the number of armed forces to 1.5 million and will obviously carry out mobilization, again they will need about 2 months to at least minimally prepare this reserve and just when i was talking about these two months and where they can make their offensives, uh, belarus is one of the options , because uh, from a military point of view, it is quite logical to start several operations from the territory of belarus in order to stretch the ukrainian forces not to give them the opportunity to implement their plans and to carry out

operations in the east and south in a concentrated manner, it is necessary, let's say so, to the diametrically opposite side to organize and commit ukrainian troops to combat operations. even if these are not successful combat operations for putin, it is possible at one moment turn out to be the only way out, because if ukraine begins to actively implement ideas regarding the liberation of the south, for example, and they begin the de-occupation of crimea, then for putin it may already be the last chance to throw in at least how many forces from the territory of belarus to tie ukrainian forces to these hostilities but i think that at that moment it will become a complete collapse and ukrainian troops can already cross the border and begin the liberation of belarusians from the lukashenko regime, that is, russia has lost a lot of time when we speak there six months ago there was one situation, now it is another and in the next three months there will be another situation, that is, i think that

once again the armed forces of ukraine - they understand this perfectly and will not give the russians a break so that they were able to prepare the necessary reserves that can be used in the donbass or in belarus, so if the ukrainian troops will now actively carry out their actions, the russians have their reserve, which they will only prepare, they will be forced to use it in the same way as the first wave of mobilization, just to plug the holes that appear at the front, this is how it turned out from the first wave of mobilization, but it seems that it did not exist because it was dissolved , and in those units that were losing their combat capability, combat readiness and e as a result it simply disappeared, and it will be the same from the next moment of mobilization if they do not concentrate it in the reserves and immediately throw it to the front line. the last question in this program is mikhail putin. putin is determined for a long-term war

with ukraine. determined to fight the war until the end, he understands that this project, which he started and thought would last two weeks, has turned into the battle of his life , that is, he has no life, either political or physical, after the end of this war, even when you showed uh propagandists of the russians, they are now saying it themselves, imagine what will happen if we, uh, leave crimea, it will be a disaster, it will not be a disaster for the russians, it will be a disaster for the putin regime, and this is exactly what they are aware of. and of course, they will fight to the last, to the last, the russians us of course , thank you, thank you, mr. mykhailo it was mykhailo himself and a military expert, and it was a verdict program conducted by serhii rudenko, i invite you, friends, to subscribe to our e-e resources in social networks, we are everywhere we are in telegram, mine, facebook, instagram,

, diplomat, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you and have a good day. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. thank you for joining. well, look, volodymyr zelensky was at joe biden's. it was four, almost five days ago. that's enough. i would say it's been a long time for that. to add up even to some intermediate results and to talk so seriously about the results of this meeting, mr. oleksandr motsyk. let me start with you. tell me, please. the impression is very, very good, the visit was extremely successful. of course, there is also the situation with the fact that today ukraine is fighting russian aggression and that all the attention of the whole

world, including the americans, is focused on of ukraine, but even without this visit. if you do n't take this into account, the visit was very powerful and very successful, mr. oleksandr kraev. what is your impression of him? in fact, i completely agree with him. the visit was successful. the visit was successful not only from a political point of view and even not only from from a diplomatic point of view, the visit was very rich in information, he conveyed a very high-quality and very open narrative of ukrainian infamy, that is, in essence, we showed that we can not only restrain russian aggression, we control the situation i.e. we do not need the presence of the president in ukraine every hour 24/7 in order for the armed forces to do their work, we do not need to be afraid of the russians, who can attack and seize power at any moment, we have the initiative, we control the situation, and we

can really make visits of this level during of a full-scale invasion well, that's very good, well, well, i know what i'm going to say now that since we have two guests called alexanders, when i give the floor, i will say the name and surname, mr. oleksandr motsika ot please tell me why, after all, washington gives us weapons and gives us good weapons, but there are some weapons that they still hesitate to give us in the white house, in particular , long-range ones, why will we have all the weapons we need, but for this we still need a certain time, of course, everyone would like the armed forces and all ukrainians, i personally would like you to have absolutely all powerful weapons today and in time so that we could launch a counteroffensive and liberate our territory as soon as possible, but there are

a number of factors that slow down this situation well, let's remember that everything started at the very beginning, as we, as we all know, that it was very difficult to get even simple defensive weapons . ambassadorial universities of america, then it was difficult for us to even talk about defense weapons. we were always asking for defense weapons. i remember that we started receiving sniper rifles and then something happened and we were blocked this channel therefore, everything must be considered in dynamics and we will have to sure the weapons that we want will be attack systems, this is a target of arctic mission systems that can shoot at a distance of 300 and probably more kilometers will be tanks. i believe that there will

also be airplanes, western -style combat aircraft, we will have everything, of course, we would like to do this as soon as possible. work why is it necessary to constantly be in contact with the congress of the united states of america by both parties, we see what a strong support from both factions of the russian congress and the democrats and republicans, by the way, the visit of the president or another important reason that we should get the support of both parties there and the president received such support and it was also important to thank the american people for coming and to thank the american people for the fact that it is america that helps us the most and what is more, it is the leader in helping. that is, it also motivates europe also other countries that belong to the

collective smell of the west, so that these countries also help us financially and with weapons and sanctions and other things, mr. oleksandr. and one more question for you, you said that we we still need to work to get these long-range weapons, which you are sure and we are sure that we will get, but work. what does it mean to convince congress and the leadership in the white house now that we will not use these weapons on the territory of russia or what? they need to be convinced and convinced in such a way that we absolutely need these weapons in order to end the war as soon as possible so that we can sit down at the negotiating table on our terms and that the situation of nali on the battlefield helps us to negotiate with russia today we we see that putin does not want to negotiate, and

yesterday's comment by medvedev, in my opinion, means a comedian, i would say so, who declared that russia's goal continues to be a change of power in ukraine. that is , we need weapons in order to liberate our land and then have normal conditions for conducting negotiations with the same uh-uh russia screams so it beats, we can make a commitment not to use this weapon, but this is also not a dogma, it can also be a development in this matter too, because if everyone will see that russia will continue to destroy our entire infrastructure and kill the mass ukrainian population, then i think that in relation to this issue there will be a friend of the fact that if the russians bomb kyiv, then they must understand

that kyiv has the full right according to international law to bomb moscow, this is written in the un charter has the right to self-defense , and this right must be adequate, so we need to work with those skeptics in the congress who are currently there and invite them. i think that those skeptics who have their own opinion there for various reasons, when they will see how destroyed bucha is, how destroyed lipinii is, bakhmut of other ukrainian cities, how many people, how many crippled fates, and when they personally see it with their own eyes, i think that they will also have some movement in changing their position, which is clear mr. oleksandr now has a question for you. look. last week, there was information that washington is going to recognize russia as an aggressor country and not a sponsoring country of

terrorism, and why an aggressor is some kind of political insight on the part of washington. is it still some kind of fear? in fact, i rather stood for the first option, because let's remember where in our country the definition of an aggressor country is mentioned first and foremost. the aggressor cannot be a member of the organization against the aggressor country, appropriate sanctions are imposed and that the activities of all other countries of the organization must be directed to stopping the aggressor country and therefore, in fact, this is the first institution where such a new status can be applied because how and when we are talking about the status of a country that sponsors terrorism, not a country that is a terrorist, the difference here is very important, because currently, unfortunately, we do not have a legal basis for recognizing a country as a terrorist, only a country that sponsors terrorism, american experts say quite clearly that, in principle, this does not matter to them meaning for one

simple reason, all the sanctions that are already imposed on the russian federation, they are much stronger, much more than the sanctions that were imposed on it if it were simply recognized as a country sponsoring terrorism therefore, in fact, they are simply talking about the fact that there is no such practical, adequate , practical meaning to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism, in fact, it is necessary to work with something new, it is necessary to try new formats, and therefore the proposal to recognize russia as an aggressor state can have much more implications and in addition what i have already said about the un can indeed be adopted certain norms of domestic american legislation which can then of course be adopted or copied by other states accordingly you will have new forms of relations with russia is actually, well, in an optimistic scenario, as i saw it, it will not allow anyone in the west to talk about the possible restoration of relations with russia after the end of this war. alexander, i have one more question for you

, because it is very interesting. information from the past that the ukrainian delegation to the united nations is now starting the procedure to admit that russia had no right to be a member of the united nations here now this decision of the united states of america, it can not be from two sides, so with a coordinated approach to this, it is very likely that it will be so, because there was information that the american delegation is considering the possibility during december 26-28 to support the position of ukraine and, accordingly, to provide the secretariat in these days, all the documents are in order to prove the opinion about the need to vote at one or another level. about the exclusion of russia from the membership of the united nations. this class is excellent. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr motsar is asking yes yes yes yes yes yes

yes yes yes question in april, even in march 2014, as the ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, i sent to the ministry of foreign affairs an official letter on six sheets containing a proposal that russia should undergo the procedure of joining the organization of the united nations and also the approval of its status as a permanent member of the security council, and in other words that russia does not deserve such a status well, unfortunately, at that time the answers from the ministry of foreign i never received the cases. but it's good that this issue has been raised now, because ukraine has all the arguments first
